I QUIT

As was the case two years ago, I need WordPress help.

  • Remove blog-style footers from static pages (like Search).
  • Completely revamp page footer. This will require a redesign, but, more importantly, getting archives off there and onto their own pages. This, apparently, requires a plug-in to make PHP work on static pages.
  • Find me a perfect search “solution” that searches these archives and fawny.org and doesn’t bust WCAG in any way, which I think rules out Google custom search.

Shouldn’t I be able to do this myself? Well, I dunno: Should I? I can’t write a lick of JavaScript and I still have the facility with CSS layouts that Microsoft did in 1998. (We’ll come back to those shortly.) I’m terrible at several things. But I can tell you who captioned a TV show within five seconds nine times out of ten. Nobody’s perfect.

Amazon-wishlisting – now a verb, like “favourite” or “friend,” but not “contact” in the Flickr sense – can be implemented to compensate anyone who helps out.

A finger behind a gift card with inscriptions in Urdu, Hindi, and Tamil appears to be connected to a photo of an upturned hennaed hand with bracelets

Apparently it’s actually Urdu.

Near-perfect homosexualist aperçu de joueb (emphasis added):

An attractive Australian guy in a Speedo made me a lewd proposition and then made a partially successful attempt to finger me. “Are you from Oceania?” was my mind-bogglingly nerdy response to him. God, I should win some sort of nerd award for that one.

Then again, the foregoing came, appropriately, from a near-perfect homosexualist – someone so very much more acceptable than that adipose accretion of disco hamburger tromping around Manhattan in army boots, or the building-renderer made of balsa wood who thinks a straight trainer working him out every day will turn him into a “musclebear” (“my people”), or the man with the ampersand tattoo who posts shirtless, eyeglassless, ratlike photos of himself each week. Let’s put blogging on the list – second after graphic design – of things we are no good at doing.

An uncommon daytime sighting of a raccoon. (This one is at least not mortally ill.) But as with the nighttime sightings, it is perfectly possible to take as many pictures as necessary until you get the one you want.

Large grey raccoon, with brown flecking on the back of the neck, crouches on top of wooden stairs

There was a difference today, though. I took a step to get closer, and the raccoon communicated “Now I am obligated to hide behind the trellis.” It was able to impart annoyance or resignation as it unhurriedly waddled under the step. I snapped a flash picture and stood a little bit too long, forcing it to show resignation again and walk into its hiding place.

Raccoons are surprisingly able to suggest emotional states. It is akin to offending a penguin, which happens even to tall, boyish, adorable penguin-keepers with movie-star names.

Using Twitter to emulate the worst kind of LiveJournal airheadedness or using it to list every step one takes to conquer the remaining 1% of the Canadian accessibility business one does not yet have?

You people are supposed to be smart and discreet, respectively.
